Ashlando, we all go through it...how you get through to the other side is the hard part. Over the past couple of weeks I have seen my fire start to burn out a bit too, fighting to work around injury, losing motivation around making good choices with nutrition, making time, etc. I often think that maybe I just need to be a…

Long-term Goals for 2015: Complete Ragnar Relay with my team Snatch: 150# Clean: 200# 10 Strict Pull Ups Goals for January: Eat clean Workout 5x/week

For early morning workouts I usually will have 1/2 a banana and a tablespoon of peanut butter about 30+ minutes before. If I wake up late, it is usually just water.

I use a pumice stone on my hands everytime I shower, it helps keep calluses smaller so they have a less likelihood to rip, though rips still happen. Blister Bandaids by "Bandaid" are THE BEST!! They are a little pricy but they work. I usually put them on at night after I'm done with dinner and dishes, make sure your hands…

Twice a week is better than 0x a week. Keep it up and see how it goes. I would be careful not to go too low carb on your workout days because it can adversely effect your physical output. Good luck!

I have a ton on IG abbyrae3 feel free to check it out, you will also see a ton of pictures of my dog, and other various things that amuse me :)

I typically train OLY 2-4x per week, and I work variations during these sessions too. For example, one day I might work cleans from high hang, mid hang, low hang to work on speed under the bar, snatch balance/Sotts press, heavy high pulls, etc. I also focus on getting stronger in the back/front/overhead squats because that…

Love: Snatches, Clean & Jerks, Heavy Squats (front/back/overhead) Love-Hate: Thursters, Burpees, T2B

Female, 29y/o, 168-171ish lbs Front Squat: 225 Back Squat: 260 Deadlift: 275 Goals for the end of the year: Front Squat: 240 Back Squat: 280 Deadlift: 300 I haven't deadlifted much over the last 6 months so I haven't seen much of a gain in that lift....and I don't think I have benched in about 4 years so I have no idea…

have you tried the sports bras from Victoria Secret? They have a ton of different kinds, I like the bare bones style of sports bra, high impact, cool color, and no wires or padding, but depending on what you want, VS has a lot of great ones. Otherwise, I love Champion sports bras

I saw that! I'm staying in Cary

I thought about checking out Crossfit Invoke, looks like an awesome space.

Thanks Jordy!

When I work out in the mornings I usually don't eat breakfast prior, only because it is usually a 5am class and I don't plan ahead enough to get food in before. Having said that, I usually don't eat dinner until like 8pm so I don't typically feel lethargic or weak during my AM workouts.

Awesome Thanks Steve! I will keep it in mind

So I ended up completing Murph with my husband, splitting everything down the middle and we finished in 27:02; Next year I'm going to have the strength and stamina to do the whole thing on my own, with a weight vest on!

Haven't tested in a long time, but last I check (around December 2013) I was at: Back Squat: 265 Deadlift: 275 Strict Press: 95 Total: 635 I have been crossfitting for about 10 months

Our box is doing a fundraiser this weekend for Murph, money raised will go to a local Veterans Support charity. I have not done this WOD before but I was actually planning on splitting it into 20 rounds (5-10-15) just because my pull ups and push ups are not as strong as I want them yet. Good luck!

Lately I have been lacking discipline, however I typically follow Eat to Perform, so I eat like an athlete would (healthy, high protein, good fat, carbs) and I eat about 1800 on rest days up to 2000-2300 on workout days. I tend to workout 5-6 days/week and at least 2 days a week I do 2 workouts. My suggestion would be to…

113 reps, super bummed I didn't make it to 205# round, but still ok with my performance, still a bit sore :)

our gym is doing a competition, so we had RX or scaled, I scaled (used a band on pull ups) and hit 270.

scaled to singles (2:1), finished 8 full rounds and 42 singles = 381 total reps my traps were dead the next day!

The macros vary by person based on your BF% but the basic concept of the program is to not diet and eat like an athlete, i.e. your calorie intake isn't reduced to 1200 calories, you eat a combination of fats, proteins, and carbs to properly fuel your workouts. For example, my calories are 2320, 174g protein, 220g carbs,…

Going along with what others have said.. I am doing an additional strength program with crossfit, so I generally crossfit 5 days/week and I do supplemental training on day 6, I take 1 full rest day and usually do crossfit and additional strength 3x/week. (i.e. Mondays CF, Tuesdays Strength/CF, Wed CF, Thursdays both....) I…

Thanks for sharing!

club soda, water with lemon/lime garnish

My suggestions.... Eat more--you need to fuel your body to perform Read up on Starting Strength or Wendler and see what you learn from that..this will give you a better more specific program. Don't do too much in one day. Set up your workout to be specific, i.e. don't do 10 different movements for chest and tri's, try to…
